most probably you are referring to different menu entries
+ mint
Install (capital I)
+ mint
install (lowercase i)
if clicked they open the same app or a different one?
also what is the output of

No, i have two binaries in /usr/bin/ , and they do the same, but i don't know if they use the same version of the software center...
This happened after the update to Pack 6
$ apt policy mintinstall
mintinstall:
Installed: 7.4.4
Candidate: 7.4.4
Version table:
*** 7.4.4 0
700
http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
This is very strange because after the update...we should have only one...

Since the contents and names are identical, I just deleted one of them.

Code: Select all
$ apt content mintinstall | grep -i /usr/bin/mintinstall
/usr/bin/mintinstall
/usr/bin/mintInstall
Yeah, the package seems to contain them both (so you shouldn't really delete any of them manually)

that's very strange because the package is and always was
mintinstall (all lowercase)

Moreover, there are two more packages with such a "redundancy" inside
Code: Select all
$ apt content mintwifi | grep -i /usr/bin/mintwifi
/usr/bin/mintWifi
/usr/bin/mintwifi
Code: Select all
$ apt content mintbackup | grep -i /usr/bin/mintbackup
/usr/bin/mintbackup
/usr/bin/mintBackup
And the actual contents are different in all three cases:
mintinstall and
mintInstall are two identical files,
mintBackup is a short shell script that just calls
mintbackup, and
mintwifi is a symlink to
mintWifi.

You right!!
Maybe somebody forget to actualize something...
ls -la /usr/bin/mint?ifi
/usr/bin/mintwifi -> mintWifi
/usr/bin/mintWifi
and
ls -la /usr/bin/mint?ackup
/usr/bin/mintbackup
/usr/bin/mintBackup
and
ls -la /usr/bin/mint?nstall
/usr/bin/mintinstall
/usr/bin/mintInstall
In the case of mint?nstall they are equal...and call another program ..."/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/mintinstall.py"!!
In the mint?ackup case they are different ... the mintBackup calls mintbackup which calls inside "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintBackup/mintBackup.py" !!
in the mint?ifi case , because the lower letter is a symbolic link...mintWifi calls "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py" !!!
3 diferent cases
